HOMELESSNESS ACTION WEEK
11th-17th October 2021
Foundations for Social Change has been awarded a grant from the City of Vancouver for Homelessness Action Week. Grants are awarded to projects using creative approaches to increase community awareness of homelessness and build a greater understanding with community members of all backgrounds on solutions to homelessness.
Working with our Lived Experience Advisory Panel, we are using Participatory Narrative Inquiry to bring different people together to share their experiences and stories, engage in dialogue, challenge their mental models about homelessness and devise new ideas for alternative action.
We are inviting stories, experiences and perspectives from everyone.
Find out how to get involved below.
-
SHARE YOUR COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE
We have created a forum where those who may not have direct lived experience of homelessness, but do have experience as a family member, a friend, a neighbour, a business-owner, etc., can share their story.
If you or someone you know has a story to share, we are listening.

SHARE YOUR LIVED EXPERIENCE
We have created a forum where people with direct lived experience of homelessness can share their stories and ideas.

JOIN THE CONVERSATION
We are inviting audiences from across Vancouver (and beyond) to come together, engage in these stories, ask new questions and think about how to increase empathy in supports and solutions around homelessness.
No one is unaffected by homelessness in our communities- that's why we're asking you to simply join the conversation.
